Answer:

Types of Metal and Their Classification

A large number of metals are available in nature. They can be classified in a variety of ways depending on what property or characteristic you use as a yardstick.

Classification by Iron Content

The most common way of classifying them is by their iron content.

When a metal contains iron, it is known as a ferrous metal. The iron imparts magnetic properties to the material and also makes them prone to corrosion. Metals that do not have any iron content are non-ferrous metals. These metals do not possess any magnetic properties. Examples include but are not limited to aluminium, lead, brass, copper and zinc.

Classification by Atomic Structure

They may also be classified based on their atomic structure according to the periodic table. When done, a metal may be known as alkaline, alkaline earth, or a transition metal. Metals belonging to the same group behave similarly when reacting with other elements. Thus, they have similar chemical properties.

Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Metals

Another way to differentiate metals is by looking how they interact with magnets. It is possible to divide metals as magnetic and non-magnetic on that basis.

While ferromagnetic metals attract strongly to magnets, paramagnetic ones only show weak interactions. Lastly, there is a group called diamagnetic metals that rather show a weak repulsion to magnets.
